本文旨在探討日治時期嘉義家政女學校的設立沿革、微觀校園史實及日治後期校園中的特殊活動或作為。本研究採用口述歷史方法，針對四名日治時期就讀過嘉義家政女學校的臺、日籍畢業校友取得口述資料，並輔以當時的《臺灣日日新報》、《臺灣愛國婦人新報》，及相關刊物或書籍作為研究工具。綜合歸納與分析後，有五項結論：第一，釐清日治時期嘉義家政女學校的校史沿革及校名變更順序。第二，明確掌握草創時期的校址及後來搬遷的校址所在地。第三，瞭解嘉義家政女學校大致訂定的課程項目及師生間的校園互動狀況。第四，描繪日治後期嘉義家政女學校時期校園中的微觀事件，諸如：成立嘉義家政女學校愛國少女團並以其名義慰問出征或戰死之軍遺；課程理論與實務結合，協助街庄的家庭修補或清洗相關物資等。第五，重現嘉義家政女學校學生的生活智慧與貢獻：例如在日治末期發揮節約能源、資源回收再造的精神並將製造的成品加以販賣，所得收入則捐助國家當國防獻金並針對美軍轟炸引起的火災作預防與演練等等。

The article aims to enquire into the understanding of the founding history， microhistorical facts and events of the School of Home Economics for Girls in Chiayiduring the Japanese colonial periodand of its activities in particular at the late stage of that time. It does so by oral history interviewing four Taiwanese or Japanese alumnae who had attended the school during the time. In addition we analyze the materials form newspapers， magazines and books of that time like Taiwan NichinichiShimpo or Taiwan Patriotic Women Shimpo etc. Drawing on this the article arrives at the following conclusions. First， we clarify the founding and name-giving history of the school. Second， we give a chronological account of locations of the school. Third， we investigate the curriculum planning in general and the interaction between teachers and students of the school. Fourth， we describe the microhistorical events in the school during the late Japaneseperiod， such as the founding of Patriotic Girls Group which was commissioned to console the bereaved and， theory with practice combined， to help with home repairs and environmental remediation in the village. Finally， we explicate and represent the school’s experiences， in particular in its environmental awareness of energy saving and recycling from which the profits were spent on defence or for the fire drills for American bombing.
