Life#
Mehmet Edip Bey was born in Istanbul in 1881/82 (AH 1299). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Tuccar.
The record names 2 schools: İbtidai Mektebi (primary school), with 4 years of schooling recorded, at a place worded Uskudar; Hukuk Mektebi (School of Law), with 14 years of schooling recorded. The record marks a qualification: a diploma, certificate, training or decoration (nişan). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: French, with Kitabet; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1898/99 (AH 1316): Nafia Nezareti. The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 1 year of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 30 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1900/01, the official was about 18 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1900/01, shows Nafia Nezareti Memuru in Istanbul, with 30 kuruş a month. In 1902/03 the record shows Hukuk Kalemi in Istanbul, the salary going from 50 to 150 kuruş a month (before: Nafia Nezareti Memuru in Istanbul).
The highest salary, 800 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1909/10 as Hukuk Kalemi. 66 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 462.5 kuruş. Over 10 years with a salary the median is 200 kuruş a month, with 4 rises and no cuts. The largest rise, 600 kuruş, is seen in 1909/10. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 44.03 per cent a year on average.
