James A. Leonard
Today is the birthday anniversary of James A. Leonard, superintendent of the Ohio State reformatory, who was born neat Huntingdon, Pa., Sept. 12, 1854. Superintendent Leonard's work has been along educational lines for the past one-third of a century. It was in 1901 that he was appointed superintendent of the reformatory and the application of many of his humanitarian and progressive ideas in the handling of first offenders has proved a great benefit to many young men in whom evil inclinations have been repressed and manhood, self-respect and self-reliance developed.
