Life

Hasan Kadri Efendi was born in Istanbul in 1860/61 (AH 1277). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Ulema.

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: Turkish, with Kitabet.

First work is recorded in Mamuretulaziz in 1878 (AH 1295). The official was then about 17 years old. The record gives 6 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 400 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1883/84, the official was about 23 years old.

The first annual entry, for 1883/84, shows Muhabere Memuru in Ergani, with 400 kuruş a month. In 1884/85 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Elazığ, the salary going from 400 to 380 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Ergani). In 1889/90 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Keban, the salary going from 380 to 600 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Elazığ). In 1898/99 the record shows 3. Müdür in Palu, with 540 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Keban). In 1899/1900 the record shows 3. Müdür in Pah, with 540 kuruş a month (before: 3. Müdür in Palu). In 1903/04 the record shows 3. Müdür in Gümüşhane, with 540 kuruş a month (before: 3. Müdür in Pah). In 1905/06 the record shows 2. Müdür in Şebinkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Şarki), the salary going from 540 to 720 kuruş a month (before: 3. Müdür in Gümüşhane). In 1906/07 the record shows 2.

Müdür in Amasya).

The highest salary, 740 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1907/08 as 2. Müdür. 78 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 300 kuruş. Over 27 years with a salary the median is 540 kuruş a month, with 3 rises and 2 cuts. The largest rise, 220 kuruş, is seen in 1889/90. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 2.39 per cent a year on average.
