Life#
Mahmut Celaleddin Efendi was born in Aydın in 1878/79 (AH 1296). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Esnaf.
Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded, at a place worded Gordos. The record marks a qualification: a diploma, certificate, training or decoration (nişan). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.
First work is recorded in Gordos in 1897/98 (AH 1315): Telgraf. The official was then about 18 years old. The record gives 6 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 250 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1903/04, the official was about 24 years old.
The first annual entry, for 1903/04, shows Muhabere Memuru in Pristina (Priştine), with 250 kuruş a month. In 1905/06 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Avrathisar, the salary going from 250 to 500 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Pristina). In 1909/10 the record shows Polis in Beyoğlu, the salary going from 500 to 800 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Avrathisar).
The highest salary, 800 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1909/10 as Polis. 66 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 462.5 kuruş. Over 9 years with a salary the median is 500 kuruş a month, with 2 rises and no cuts. The largest rise, 300 kuruş, is seen in 1909/10. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 15.65 per cent a year on average.
