Kelso, J. J. (John Joseph), 1864-1935 : John Joseph Kelso was born in 1864 at Dundalk, Ireland. While a reporter for the World and the Globe, he founded the Toronto Humane Society in 1887, the first organization of its kind in Canada. As the Society's first president, he pressured for the prevention of cruelty to children and animals. In the following year he established the first Children's Fresh Air Fund and the Santa Claus Fund in the city, and the Children's Aid Society in 1891.

In 1893 Kelso participated in the drafting of provincial child welfare legislation which provided for a Superintendent of Neglected and Dependent Children. He was appointed to this position and retained it until 1934. Kelso was responsible for the administration of the Children's Protection Act, the Industrial Schools' Act, the Adoption Act, and the Children of Unmarried Parent's Act. Kelso directed the expansion of the Children's Aid Societies throughout Ontario and was instrumental in the establishment of similar child protection legislation and systems in Manitoba, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.

Kelso was active in organizations such as the American Humane Society, the Canadian and National (American) Conference of Charities and Correction, and the Social Service Council of Canada. He also assisted in the organization of the Royal Canadian Humane Association, the University Settlement, the Central Neighbourhood House, the Toronto Playground Association, and the social work course at the University of Toronto. He was the author of many reports and pamphlets on social reform and the care and protection of children.
