This is actually one of the facts that Rose Wilder Lane specifically omitted from the books: Mary went to a School for the Blind on a full scholarship. Her future niece didn't want anyone thinking the family relied on government funds for anything.

That being said, they did have to buy Mary's wardrobe and maybe even some of her school materials. But Laura was probably only contributing to what was essentially cost-of-living expense and maybe pocket money. I doubt she ever made enough to pay Mary's tuition if it hadn't been covered.

Whatever Laura was contributing to the family income, it was enough that she felt she couldn't quit a job she hated until she got married and moved out of that house.
