I would guess at least 99 auto for every 1 stick. Very few people have only 1 car that is a stick shift that would force them to learn in a stick. Most mainstream cars are unavailable with a stick.

Update,
after a few months of in-action and 0 hours behind the wheel (hey, I'm not pushing them, certainly don't need the extra insurance cost), there seems to have been a new found urgency in them getting their test.
So we have been out and about in the Greater Johns Creek Metro area (don't say you haven't been warned) and we have come to the conclusion that we need some warning signs.
In the UK, by law, a learner driver must display one of these on the front and rear of the car:

It warns everyone around you that you may behave erratically, slow down unexpectedly, take forever to make a turn etc. It is usually a static-cling material that the parents can remove when they are driving (cars with this "L-plate" are limited to 45mph btw)
I have seen a couple of similar things on cars here, but most are of the semi-permenant bumper sticker type thing or even a magnetic version:

I was very surprised that these aren't available in WalMart or Autozone. Got one ordered on-line, and am giving consideration installing one of these too:
