Life#
Mehmet Arif Efendi was born in Bitola (Manastır) in 1869/70 (AH 1286). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Muderris.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: French, with Kitabet; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Bitola in 1883/84 (AH 1301). The official was then about 15 years old. The record gives 9 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 380 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1892/93, the official was about 23 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1892/93, shows Memur in Ankara, with 380 kuruş a month. In 1899/1900 the record shows 3. Müdür in Galovic, the salary going from 380 to 600 kuruş a month (before: Memur in Ankara). No annual entry is recorded for 1894 to 1899.
