Life and register readings
Mehmed Mazhar Bey was born in Istanbul in 1869/70 (AH 1286); the father's occupation was "Ziraatçi". Work began in Istanbul in 1886/87, at about 17, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1886/87, with Mehmed Mazhar as İdadi mektebi Fransızca hat muallimi in Istanbul, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1888/89. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Hamidiye Ticaret Mektebi Fransızca hat muallimi. For 1892 to 1894 the lists have no entry. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1898. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1898/99.
Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 900 in 1899/1900, when four in five paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.
