Life and register readings

Mustafa Asım Efendi was born in Safranbolu in 1857/58 (AH 1274) into the İslam community. At about 37, in 1894/95, Mustafa Asım began work in Ohrid (Ohri), on a first salary of 250 kuruş. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 5 per cent started at 37 or older. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Mustafa Asım as İttihat ve Terakki Mekteb-i İbtidaisi muallim-i evveli in Ohrid, where the entries run to 1906/07. Alongside, the lists for 1906/07 give a second post, in Çorlu as Mekatib-i Gayr-ı Müslime Lisan-ı Osmani muallimi.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to a peak of 300 in 1906/07, in Çorlu, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 13 years the salaries add up to 36,360 kuruş, 56 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.
