The Astral Kindergarten is about the largest one in numbers under the 
Brooklyn Free Kindergarten Society, and it is the child of this Alumnae 
Association, which entirely supports  it, and it isn't an easy matter 
to support a kindergarten.  It means the raising of a great deal of 
money and in order that the money necessary for the carrying on of this 
kindergarten shall be in hand, these young women who have undertaken  
to support their child, are giving this musicale.  A kindergarten for 
the little Greenpointers means much because it is in many cases their 
only fun in life.  And the work of the mother's club is of especial 
importance.  The club is a very large and enthusiastic one.  The 
territory in that part of Brooklyn, crowded as it is, and becoming more 
so all the time, is in need of more educational institutions for the 
growing population.  The Astral Kindergarten is the only one within a 
radius of many blocks and it is always crowded and always has a long 
waiting list.  Hence it is necessary that the friends of the 
kindergarten cause rally around these young women and keep the good 
work afloat.
