Life and register readings

The schooling was at Darüşşafaka, the school for orphans in Istanbul. İsmail Efendi began work in Istanbul in 1896/97 (AH 1314), on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1896/97, with İsmail as a policeman (Polis) and no place named. For 1910 to 1911 the lists have no entry. The last post was in Istanbul in 1911/12, with a rise to Polis Komiseri.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1896/97 to 1,000 in 1911/12, the peak, as Polis Komiseri in Istanbul, when 46 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1911/12.
