Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Rağıb Efendi began in Uşak in 1880/81 (AH 1298); the father's occupation was "Uşak Rüşdiye muallim-i evveli". Mehmed Rağıb began work in 1894/95, at about 14. The first annual entry, for 1894/95, names Mehmed Rağıb as mülazım (kalem), with no place. The lists have no entry for 1895 to 1901. Next came a return to Uşak, the birthplace, from 1901 to 1906. For 1906 to 1913 the lists have no entry. The last entries, from 1913 to 1915, name Mehmed Rağıb as Osmanlıca muallimi, with no place.
Pay rose from 152 kuruş a month in 1901/02 to a peak of 400 in 1905/06, in Uşak, when 41 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 250 kuruş. In all, seven years of salary come to 17,472 kuruş, 38 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1914/15.
