Knowledge is Power in a Free Republic, Postwar Reflections
An essay-style reflection contrasts a skilled postwar blacksmith with broader themes of public opinion, education, and national governance.

The piece defends U S schooling, libraries, press, and radio as safeguards of democracy and individual thought.
