Students Hear Graduate Talk On Foreign Trade Edgar Blood of Japanese Company Discusses Value of Courses Speaker Tells of Positions Best Fit for Students “Foreign Trade from the Eecent Graduate’s Viewpoint”, and the col lege courses which help the begin ning employee most, was the sub ject of a talk by Edgar Blood of Suzuki and company, Ltd., in the commerce building yesterday after-^ noon. Mr. Blood said that it was not so easy to find an opening in Portland as in other ports because most of the important steamship offices there are branch offices of, Seattle or San Francisco and the i places are filled by men sent from the head offices. “Students who study the problem from a distance and are not where they can see the theories in opera tion are at a disadvantage,” Mr. Blood said. He then told of other positions closely related to foreign trade, the customs-broking house, foreign banking, Chamber of Com merce, and journalism in 'shipping. Vancouver, Canada, Outlet He cited Vancouver as the port with the greatest future, because it has several fast liners, is the only port of consequence in Canada, and is the outlet of a large wheat pro ducing country. Seattle and other ports on Puget Sound, will contin ue to be the most important of the Pacific Northwest, Mr. Blood be lieves. Portland is aided by the other Columbia Biver ports but loses the fast lines to Seattle and. San Francisco. Employers Classed Mr. Blood said there were three , classes of employers and gave them as follows: the senior executives, who are the most important manag ers and heads of the firm; the jun ior executives, or assistants and chief clerks; and the clerical em ployees. The junior executive de partment was designated as the most promising fo^ college gradu ates. In the firm with which Mr. Blood, a graduate of the Universi ty of Oregon in 1923, is corfheeted, the senior executives are all Japan ese, the junior executives are Amer ican men, and the clerical employees are America* girls. Practical Studies Helpful One helpful phase of his college preparation, Mr. Blood claimed, was the putting of principles of export ing into practical use. As practi cally none of the business is tran sacted verbally, the employer must be able to write cables, to code and decode them, and do it accurately and briefly. The Japanese, Mr. Blood says, are especially good at this. Good practice in this, as sug gested by the speaker is brief but full class notes, term papers, and exams. Study of Markets Urged A study of the markets, not only of the one in which the student is most interested, but of as many as time will permit, and a know ledge of statistics, Mr. Bfood would place first, as having helped him i most. Hedging transaction is im portant, and a study of future mar-1 kets is essential. The job which the college gradu- j ate is most likely to get is that' of traffic manager, which involves a number of things—checking up on contracts, filling the steamer’s al lotment, arranging storage, and ad justing the difficulties which al ways arise. Bor this a knowledge of accounting is necessary. Mr. Blood had a number of cable orders to show the students and answered questions for sometime af ter completing his talk.

Ingraham gradu ated from Nebraska Wesleyan, in tending to take up work in the teaching profession. Circumstances at that time, however, did not favor a young •educator entering the field, so he turned to the printing trade, which offered immediate re turns. Now, after a quarter of a century spent in following his trade as a printer, he is again preparing to enter the education field, and is enrolled in the graduate school of the University. Mr. Ingraham finds no particular .difficulty in taking up class room work at an age when mosjt men are looking forward to a retirement from the strenuous effort of the work-a-day world. “No, I don’t find it any harder to study now,” he says, “and I really think that I get a good deal more out of what I learn. That is probably due to the fact that I have retained some thing of the schoolroom attitude by keeping in touch with schools all my life.” He was the youngest son of a large pioneer family in Minnesota, his father being one of the early settlers of that state. Later, the family settled in Nebraska, 60 miles from Sioux' Falls, S. D., the nearest town. With the founding of Worth ington, Neb., the family found it self comparatively close to a cpm munity, it being a mere jaunt of 40 miles. Some years later, Ells worth, Neb., was founded within four miles of the homestead. He attended the country schools of his section, but high schools were few on the prairies in those days, and Mr. Ingraham spent only a few months in a high school. How ever, he attended the preparatory school of the North Nebraska Con ference Seminary, a Methodist school at Central City, known to the forty-niners as Lone Tree, be cause of the enormous, solitary cot tonwood tree on the bank of the Platte river visible for miles over th rolling prairies, and utilized, con sequently, as a landmark to guide travelers of the Oregon trail.

The print ing office caught his attention, and when he was informed that there was no vacancy he offered to work for nothing—an offer that the edi tor found completely satisfactory. Later, he inherited the “devilship,” with the munificent stipend of two dollars a ■week, and soon was classed as journeyman printer. When his parents moved to Uni versity Place, a suburb of Lincoln, Neb., Mr. Ingraham attended the Nebraska Wesleyan preparatory school for a year and then went to the Strongsberg Normal and Busi ness school, where he taught alge bra and Latin, and worked part time in local printing establish ments to put himself through school. The combination printer, teacher and student was graduated in 1S97 with the high-sounding degree of “Bach I elor of Didactics.” Just what this degree implied is not clear to Mr. Ingraham. His instructorship was terminated the next year when the institution burned to the ground and never was rebuilt. He entered the Nebraska Wesle yan the next year, and worked in local printing shops and acted as substitute teacher to support him self. He was graduated with a bachelor of Literature degree in 1902, and looked about for a suit able position. No opening appear ed in the teaching field which would provide a salary comparable to the wages to be gained in the printing trade, and rather regret fully Mr. Ingraham got a job on the Lincoln Star. In company with other settlers, Mr. Ingraham came West to “grow up with the country,” settling on the King Hill irrigation project in southern Idaho. For three years, he remained on his homestead, and then returned to his trade, moving to Boise, where he obtained employment in the Boise I I It’s Time to | Tnink about Your 1 Graduation J Hose I Holeproof I OP I COURSE I /foi^rocf fjosieryr All Pure Silk .$1.00 (All colors) All Silk Chiffons.$1.00 (All Shades) Fine Fashioned Chif fon Silk .$1.85 (All Shades) J.
