Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mehmet Galip Efendi began in Bosna; the father's occupation was "Kırkağaç Rüşdiye Mektebi muallimi". Mehmet Galip began work in Kırkağaç in 1899/1900 (AH 1317), on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1899/1900, places Mehmet Galip in Kırkağaç as Rüşdiye muallim-i sâlisi, where the entries run to 1903/04. The last posts were in Kos (İstanköy) from 1904 to 1911. The lists have no entry for 1905 to 1910.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to a peak of 500 in 1910/11, in Kos, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 15,000 kuruş, 49 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
