AS the only woman Governor of a State penal institution, Miss Lilian Barker speaks with exceptional authority. When, in 1923, she became Governor of the Borstal Institution for Girls, at Aylesbury, she had already had much experience of handling women and girls. She had been in turn Principal of an L.C.C. Women's Institute, Commandant of a section of the Women's Legion, and Principal Officer in the Training Section of the Ministry of Labour; but she is probably best remembered as Lady Superintendent at the Woolwich Arsenal, where she did wonderful work during the worst of the air-raid period in the War.

Prelude from English Suite in F Major Minuet from French Suite in D Minor
Prelude and Fugue in F Minor from Book II of the ' 48 ' LAST night we heard a Partita or set of short pieces by Bach. The sets of pieces called
Suites are much like the Partitas in general style. Why a certain collection of the Suites that was published after Bach's death cams, to bo known as 'English' is not known for certain.
The Prelude to the Suite in F (the Fourth of the six Suites named English ') is a lively, long and well-worked-out piece in woven style, generally in two strands or ' voices,' but sometimes in three or four—one voice constantly starting some little tune, and another then taking it over imitatively.
The 'French-' Suites were probably so called on account of their light character. The dances are all short, and in general slighter than tlfose in the Partitas and ' 'English' Suites.
The F minor Prelude in the Second Book is one of the most sensitively beautiful and expressive movements in the ' Forty-eight.' The poetry of the three-note falling motif, out of which so much of it is made, almost becomes articulate.
The Fugue has a rather long theme (' Subject') with a fall of seven notes at one point, that, often repeated in various parts of the piece, gives just a touch of pathos to it.
