Glynda (and indeed everyone) was busy containing the Grimm attacking Vale and being attracted to Beacon, and then rebuilding Vale so it was at least somewhat secure. A rebuilding effort which is still going on now, 9 or so months after Beacon fell. The first months would have been the craziest time of the rebuilding effort, as they scramble to reinforce buildings threatening to fall and patch holes in walls to keep Grimm out of the city.

Really, dumping the cane on Glynda when she's already stressed out by the rebuilding efforts asap would be a dick move. It's actually better to wait for things to settle down a bit more before giving her former boss's weapon to her and telling her to keep it safe. It's less stressful things happening all at once for one, which means she actually has a chance of coping properly instead of being buried under everything. I agree with most of his statements but I think he was holding on to the cane to keep it safe but when his niece decided to go on an adventure he gave it to glynda. Because they were in patch they likely headed to vale to grab a ship to get to anima(why they did not go straight to mystral is beyond me). Likely while they were in vale waiting for a ship to come he gave it to Glynda to safe guard it, as she is leader of the forces trying to take back the school she likely has several huntsman and soldiers around her.

@73.Anon.52: To be honest it would be a lot better to give it to one of the few people who know what it is and is surround by a lot of armed personel and most likely huntsmen and huntresses then to hide it outside the city and I think Glynda is the only other person in the circle that is part of vale.
