"The basic purpose of all Baha'i Summer Schools, whether in East or West,
is to give the believers the opportunity to acquaint themselves, not only
by mere study but through whole-hearted and active collaboration in
various Baha'i activities with the essentials of the administration and in
this way enable them to become efficient and able promoters of the Cause.
The teaching of the Administration is therefore, an indispensable feature
of every Baha'i Summer School and its special significance can be better
understood if we realize the great need of every believer today for a more
adequate understanding of the social principles and laws of the Faith."
"How wonderful it would be if all the friends could arrange to spend at
least a few days in one of these summer schools and take an active part in
their development. These centers could attract many souls if properly
arranged and made interesting; those non-Baha'is who visit them will then
have some time to get into the spirit of the place and make a study of the
Cause... We constantly receive letters from people who became Baha'i by
visiting one of these centers and obtaining the Message there."
