Could this information have anything to do with the photo? The Georgia Legislature created the state's first dental practice act in 1872, and also set up a board of dental examiners at that time. Since that time, the practice act and board of examiners has undergone review and change. At the Georgia State Dental Society's Annual Meeting in 1919, the legislative committee proposed a new dental practice act to meet the exigencies of the time. The new act, adopted by the Georgia Legislature in 1920, provided that "all persons shall be held to be practicing dentistry within the meaning of this act who shall charge a fee or salary or any other reward...for operations or parts of operations of any kind in the treatment of diseases or lesions of the human teeth, mouth, gums, or jaws, or extract teeth or attempt to correct the malposition thereof or who shall fill or crown a human tooth or teeth, or do any operation whatsoever on the human tooth, or teeth, gums, or jaws, or take an impression thereof for the purpose of treating or operating upon the same or who shall by any means whatsoever make it known or imply that he will do such operation."

Men always wore hats in those days and in the summer they wore light colored hats or dressy straw hats, and all of these hats are typical hats of the period (Roaring Twenties!). Even today legislators have their families visit on opening day of the legislative session so some of these people may be family members. > > The person elected from Pike County for this session was a man named Bloodworth, but I can not identify him. > > Lynn > > > Virginia Crilley wrote: > List members.... > > Thought these observations might lead others to some ideas for us on this photo... > > http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/history/1920leg.htm > > We think it is members of 1920-1921 Legislators, as one member is identified as the youngest member...(Dewitt T.
