1. The free kindergarten movement in california was chiefly supported by Mrs. Sara B. Cooper and Mrs. Kate D. Wiggin. This movement influenced on the ring of pacific coast countries, especially on Dunedin, New Zealand. 2. In Dunedin and Sydney, Australis, founders of the free kindergarten movement felt much interest in character building and industrious training of the poor.
