Rensselaer Boy Addressed Colorado State Teachers’ Association On Manual Training. Gaylord Nowels, of Longmont, Colo., son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Nowels, of Rensselaer, is regarded one of the best manual training instructors in the state of Colorado, and he was honored a week ago by being on the program at the meeting of the state teachers’ association of Colorado, for an address on the subject of manual training. The Nowels boys seem to have a natural bent as wood workmen and Gaylord was for some years' considered one of the finest workmen in the planing mills plant at Delphi, which has furnished the best woodwork in Rensselaer for many years. He went to Longmont, Colo., several years ago on account of his health and is now An - instructor in manual training in ■flie schools of that city. His brother, Charles E. Nowels, also lives at Longmont and is a wood workman of ability. Vern Nowels, the Rensselaer confectioner, has never worked at the trade, but can make about anything out of wood and the large mirror frame and mantle w'ork back of his lunch counter is his own work, while he also made the partitions in the apartments he occupies over the restaurant.-
