The Tennessee Valley Authority

As an example of the efficient administration of a vast public enterprise, the T.V.A. furnished a basis for renewed faith in democratic institutions and for hope in the reconstruction of a war-torn world. The author discusses the background of the T.V.A., its multiple-purpose program, its development as one of the greatest power agencies in the world, its contribution to the war effort, and its ultimate meaning and significance.
