Life#
Ali Haydar Efendi was born in Gelibolu in 1873/74 (AH 1290). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Telgraf Muduru.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded, at a place worded Kastamonu. The record marks a qualification: a diploma, certificate, training or decoration (nişan). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Serbian, with Tekellum; Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Konya in 1892/93 (AH 1310): Orman Kitabeti. The official was then about 19 years old. The record gives no years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet). The first-salary field gives 400 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1892/93, the official was about 19 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1892/93, shows Orman Memuru in Konya, with 400 kuruş a month. In 1893/94 the record shows Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Konya, the salary going from 400 to 300 kuruş a month (before: Orman Memuru in Konya). In 1895/96 the record shows Başmuhabere Memuru in Tripoli (Trablusgarp), the salary going from 300 to 500 kuruş a month (before: Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Konya). In 1898/99 the record shows Sube Memuru in Istanbul, the salary going from 500 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Başmuhabere Memuru in Tripoli). In 1900/01 the record shows Seyyar Memur in Istanbul, the salary going from 400 to 800 kuruş a month (before: Sube Memuru in Istanbul). No annual entry is recorded for 1894/95.
The highest salary, 800 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1900/01 as Seyyar Memur. 81 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 11 years with a salary the median is 500 kuruş a month, with 2 rises and 2 cuts. The largest rise, 400 kuruş, is seen in 1900/01. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 6.5 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1903/04, when 80 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
