Here are a few that I have found that demonstrate he
received education, then began a business that required significant education. Getting
an education does not always make someone smart, but when we are talking about passing
the bar exam, intelligence can be assumed.
"...the tradition of living on the land remained
unbroken until well into the twentieth century, when my father, Atticus Finch, went to
Montgomery to read law, and his younger brother went to Boston to study medicine."

"When my father was admitted to the bar, he returned to
Maycomb and began his practice."
(4)
Another evidence of
intellect is one who spends money wisely:
"During his first five years in Maycomb, Atticus
practiced economy more than anything; for several years thereafter he invested his
earnings in his brother’s education. John Hale Finch was ten years younger than my
father, and chose to study medicine at a time when cotton was not worth growing; but
after getting Uncle Jack started, Atticus derived a reasonable income from the
law."
These are all in
chapter one, but demonstrate different stereotypes of intellect. They are each examples
of education although you might break them down when writing your essay so your quotes
aren't too long for your paper.
